Encore encourages performers - individuals and ensembles - to add newly created works by living composers to their repertoires. It also aims to assist composers in securing premiere and post-premiere performances that are vital to building a career.
While not a commissioning program and not expected to fully finance performances, Encore acts as an incentive to build new partnerships between performers and composers. By offering an opportunity for performers to work directly with the composer and helping compensate players for the time and effort required to undertake a new piece, Encore will ensure new works continue to reach a variety of audiences. Grants from $500 to $2,000 are made to performers to play a work at least three times during an 18-month period. Awards support rehearsal and performance costs, so that performers may connect with a composer whose work they have not previously performed. Grant amounts vary according to the duration, difficulty of the work, and the number of performances proposed. As a rough guide, a soloist may receive $500-$1,000, a chamber group (3-8 performers) $1,000-$1,500, and a larger ensemble $1,500-$2,000.
Selection criteria include the quality of both the performer's and of the composer's submitted work. In addition, it is essential that the performers be dedicated to promoting the work, as shown by the total number of proposed performances, diversity of venues, broadcast and recording opportunities, and potential for reaching new audiences. Performers are encouraged to explore ways of integrating the work into settings where new music is seldom heard and to utilize creative or innovative programming should the work be presented in a more traditional concert setting.

NADDI shall use its best efforts to ensure that the LE Grant funds are awarded to law enforcement entities who demonstrate the greatest need as well as the commitment to use the resources appropriately, and who will be able to benefit most from the availability of the funds. NADDI agrees that it will consider the following factors in evaluating the merits of each LE Grant request:

5. the population and size of the entity's geographic jurisdiction;

7. such other criteria as may be established by the individuals selecting LE Grant recipients as relevant in determining appropriateness for the award of a LE Grant.
Applicants may be selected for work completed on a single case or on the basis of overall work completed over a period of time. Consideration will be given to all law enforcement efforts involving drug diversion that includes both plainclothes and uniform personnel. Although cases need not be resolved in court, the investigation should be completed, and all suspects arrested or under indictment. In order for an investigation to be eligible, it must have been completed within 18 months of the application date.
Applications may be submitted on an ongoing until funds are no longer available.

At least 32 signatures - including those of prominent Coachella Valley officials - allegedly were forged on documents that would have committed schools and community organizations to contribute funds as part of a $34.5 million federal grant application, officials listed on the application told The Desert Sun.
The Indio Youth Task Force was the lead agency on the grant application. It is not clear who might have forged the signatures. But representatives of many organizations that would have benefited from the grant - including the task force's own executive officer, Indio Police Chief Brad Ramos - told The Desert Sun the signatures on the final grant application were not their own.
